Perfect docking done exactly right. Smooth as silk. Played the strong current perfectly and knew exactly where his boat was. Compliments to the...
Not sure what thread that was, but they won't chime in unless they happen across this. I'd suggest sending them a PM.
"2. YES, any good DIESEL mechanic can, same with CAT etc. Nothing unique on MAN's other than knowing how to change the oil filters without making...

Keep in mind that some things are more trouble than they're worth.

Nasty accident, and not uncommon. First time I saw it was as a kid when a boat backed down on a skier to pass the tow line. When I was living in...
